WHY ARE BODY CORPORATE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
IMPORTANT?

• If you live in a flat, apartment, or a unit, you
  are most likely to be a member of a body
  corporate. A body corporate comes into play when
  a plan of subdivision contains common property
  like driveways, external walls, foyers, boundary
  walls, the upper surface of the floor, under the
  surface of the ceiling etc. Most properties may
  also share pipes and electrical wiring.
• To avoid any disputes and differences among the
  owners to maintain these common areas, a body
  corporate company (also known as owners
  corporation management company) is hired. They
  maintain and manage the common property on
  behalf of all the owners. In return, the owners
  pay a body corporate fee which is charged
  annually, half-yearly, or quarterly.
• Usually, a body corporate management company in
  Melbourne spend these funds on public lighting,
  exteriors of the building, security gates,
  intercoms, car parks, insurance costs etc. Body
  corporate management services can be for
  residential, commercial, retail, or even for
  industrial properties.
• Body corporate management is an essential service
  for any strata community. Your body corporate
  delegate duties to a body corporate manager- who
  is your one-point contact.
• The good part is, your body corporate committee
  holds the right to decide who will be the body
  corporate manager.
• The body corporate manager will be solely
  responsible for handling day-to-day affairs and
  other body corporate management services. He/she
  will also be responsible for coordinating the
  fees, property maintenance, and insurance for
  your common property. So, it is extremely
  important to have a professional body corporate
  manager.
